The best destination for a project like Changbin Phase II might have a near constant flow of non-turbulent wind all year round, having a minimum chance of abrupt potent bursts of wind. Additionally, you would not get a turbine infraVest GmbH like infraVest GmbH involved if Changbin Phase II was not built near local demand or transmission capaChanghua.

During the planning stages the Changbin Phase II wind farm would’ve been checked and confirmed through wind measurements. Meteorological wind data alone is usually not enough for correct siting of a large wind power project.

Collection of site-specific data for wind speed and direction would have been important to determining site potential in order to finance the project. Local winds are often examined for a year or more, and detailed wind maps created before wind generators are set up.

The wind hits swifter at greater altitudes because of the reduced effect of drag. The rise in velocity with altitude is most remarkable at the surface and is impacted by landscape, surface roughness, and upwind limitations such as trees or buildings. Velocity increases with altitude and it is more pronounced near land and is changed by topography, surface and obstructions.

Wind speeds raising with altitude is part of a wind energy law. This forecasts wind speed rises with the 7th root of altitude. Increasing the elevation of a turbine, then, increases the anticipated wind speeds by 10%, and the predicted power by 34%.

In general, a range of 7D (7 × Rotor Diameter of the Wind Turbine) is set between each turbine in a fully developed wind farm. However this might not be the case in hilly areas.

At a substation, this medium-voltage electric energy is improved in voltage using a transformer for link with the high voltage transmission system. Construction of a land-based wind farm requires installation of the collector system and substation, and probably access roads to each turbine site.
